I decided that I needed something to do with the extra beads that I had left over from my knitting needle making extravaganza. I headed to my garage and found some "magic" elastic cording for bracelets, rings, ankle bracelets, etc.

I made these two bracelets out of the smaller beads in my bead packet.

While on Etsy a few weeks ago I found these really cute Abraham Lincoln brass charms. They were only about $1 for a set of four of them. After shipping they came out to be about a dollar each. Worth it because I like them so much. ANYWHO, I decided to put ol' honest Abe on one of the bracelets and I also made a necklace out of one of the charms (I may get a picture of that up at a later date).

Oldest now wants an honest Abe bracelet of her very own so that will be my next jewelry making venture. We can go out with matching Presidential effigies.

I also finished my knitted prayer square for a prayer square swap I'm participating in on Ravelry. Unfortunately I didn't snap a picture of it before I sent it out. Oh well, I'll have to remember that for next time.
